When the multi-split air conditioner is used, an indoor unit of the air conditioner is often set to be in an energy-saving mode for the purposes of energy conservation and environmental protection, and the manual adjustment range of air conditioner parameters is limited to prevent the air conditioner from being used excessively. In the same air conditioning system, there may be air conditioning indoor units in special areas, such as when cooling, in areas with higher density of people, it is necessary to set lower temperature and larger air output. In order to meet the requirements, a VIP mode of the multi-split air conditioner is set, namely, one or more indoor units of the multi-split air conditioner have a larger manual parameter adjustment range relative to other indoor units, for example, after the air conditioner enters a refrigeration energy-saving mode, the indoor units in a non-VIP mode limit the refrigeration temperature to be within a manual range of 26-30 ℃; when the indoor unit is in the VIP mode, the manual control temperature is allowed to range from 20 ℃ to 30 ℃.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. For example, although the preferred embodiment of the present invention is to detect the information of the people in the air-conditioned area by the millimeter wave radar, the protection scope of the present invention should not be limited thereto, but should cover the case of adopting any other detection method.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating major steps of a VIP mode control method of a multi-split air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the control method of the present invention includes:
step S101: acquiring the number of personnel, the personnel density and the average personnel movement grade in an air conditioning area corresponding to each indoor unit of the multi-split air conditioner;
step S102: and controlling the corresponding indoor unit to work and selectively entering the VIP mode according to at least one of the number of the personnel, the personnel density and the average personnel movement level.
In step S101, information such as the number of persons in the air-conditioned area, the density of persons, and the average movement level of persons is preferably acquired using a millimeter wave radar. The millimeter wave radar is a detection radar working in a millimeter wave (with the wavelength of 1-10 mm and the frequency of 30-300 GHz) band, is a wireless sensing technology, and can extract and find the characteristics of the position, shape, motion characteristic and the like of a target by analyzing the radar echo characteristics of the received target, so as to determine the information of the number of personnel in a space region, the positions of the personnel and the like; and moreover, the phase change of FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) signals can be analyzed and processed, so that the vital signs of respiration, heart rate and the like of the personnel can be detected, and richer information such as the movement grade of the personnel can be obtained.
When the millimeter wave radar is built in the air outlet of the indoor unit of the multi-split air conditioner, the millimeter wave radar carried by the air conditioner can be directly used for detecting personnel information.
When the multi-split air conditioner is not provided with the millimeter wave radar, an independent millimeter wave radar system can be installed in the air conditioner area to detect personnel information. At this time, the installation position of the independent millimeter wave radar can be fixed near the air outlet of the indoor unit or at a proper position of the roof.
Before the method is implemented, the corresponding relation between the millimeter wave radar detection area and the position of the indoor unit is also required to be established according to the building plan of the air conditioning area, the installation position of the indoor unit, the position of the millimeter wave radar and the like.
Continuing to read fig. 2, step S102 specifically includes:
step S201: controlling the corresponding indoor units to be turned on or off according to the number of the people;
step S202: when the corresponding indoor unit works in a refrigeration mode, controlling the indoor unit to work according to the personnel density, and selectively entering a VIP mode;
step S203: and when the corresponding indoor unit works in the heating mode, controlling the indoor unit to work according to the average movement level of the personnel, and selectively entering the VIP mode.
Step S201 can realize that a person in the air-conditioning area starts the indoor unit and closes the indoor unit, and step S201 specifically includes:
then, NpControlling the indoor unit to be closed when the indoor unit is 0; and/or
When N is presentpWhen the current time is more than 0, controlling the indoor unit to be started;
wherein N ispNumber of human members.
In step S202, when the air conditioner is operated in the cooling mode, the setting rule of the VIP mode control is: the higher the personnel density is, the smaller the manual temperature regulation lower limit value of the VIP mode is, and the higher the wind speed upper limit of the manual wind regulation is. The reason for adopting the rule is that the human body can be regarded as a heat source and emits heat, and the more the number of people, the more the heat is emitted, and the influence on the environment is larger. Therefore, in general, when cooling in summer, if the number of people in a room is large, the cooling capacity of the air conditioner may need to be increased by taking measures such as reducing the set temperature and increasing the air speed of the air outlet, so as to meet the requirement of temperature comfort.
Next, a specific implementation method of step S202 is described with reference to fig. 3.
As an example, in air conditioning control, the density of people is generally the entire population of people in a certain area, and therefore, a smaller area per unit area is not desirable. In the present embodiment, 10 square meters are used as a unit area. The following parameters were set:
the rule of manual temperature adjustment and setting is as follows: the second lower temperature limit value < the first lower temperature limit value < the refrigeration energy-saving low-temperature threshold value is set as follows as an example:
the refrigerating energy-saving low-temperature threshold value is 26 ℃,
the first lower temperature limit is 24 c,
the second temperature lower limit value is 20 ℃,
the setting rule of the wind speed is as follows: the first wind speed is less than the second wind speed,
the first wind speed is a low wind speed,
the second wind speed is a high wind speed,
setting a first person density threshold THR1_ PdIs 3 persons/10 square meters,
setting a second person density threshold THR2_ Pd6 persons/10 square meters.
The millimeter wave radar detects the number of personnel in the air conditioning area at regular time and calculates the personnel density P according to the number of personnel and the area of the radar detected air conditioning areadDensity of persons PdThe calculation method comprises the following steps: number of people/area of air conditioned area.
N after people enter air-conditioning areapAnd if the temperature is higher than 0, the indoor unit of the air conditioner starts to work and is in a refrigeration mode according to the working mode setting of the air conditioner.
Judging the personnel density PdAnd a first person density threshold THR1_ PdSecond person density threshold THR2_ PdThe magnitude relationship of (1).
Case 1: pd≤3
The density of people in the air-conditioned area is less than or equal to a first people density threshold THR1_ Pd. At this time, the indoor unit works in a cooling energy-saving mode, and the default operation parameters are as follows: the temperature set value is a refrigeration energy-saving low-temperature threshold value of 26 ℃, and the wind speed set value is a first wind speed low wind; the lower limit value of the locking manual control temperature regulation is a refrigeration energy-saving low-temperature threshold value of 26 ℃, and the upper limit value of the wind speed of the locking manual control wind regulation is a first wind speed low wind.
Case 2: 3 < Pd≤6
The density of people in the air-conditioning area is between the first person density threshold THR1_ PdAnd a second person density threshold value THR2_ PdIn the meantime. At the moment, the number of people in the air-conditioning area is increased, the indoor unit of the air conditioner enters a first VIP mode, the manual adjustment range of air-conditioning parameters is expanded, and the lower limit value of manual temperature adjustment is changed to 24 ℃; the limitation of a manual wind speed adjusting range is enlarged, the upper limit of the wind speed is the second wind speed high wind, and a user can manually set the high wind and the wind quantity below the high wind according to different air conditioner models, such as high wind, medium wind, low wind and the like. When the number of people in the air-conditioning area is increased and the density of people is increased, the ambient temperature is increased, and the indoor unit works at the set temperatureAnd when the air can not be effectively cooled under the condition of the air speed, the user can manually adjust the air conditioner parameters, and the set temperature is reduced and/or the air speed is increased, so that the ambient temperature is reduced.
Case 3: pd＞6
The person density in the air-conditioned area is greater than a second person density threshold value THR2_ Pd. At the moment, the air conditioner indoor unit enters a second VIP mode, the manual adjustment range of air conditioner parameters is further expanded, the lower limit value of manual temperature adjustment is changed to 20 ℃, the wind speed limit of manual wind adjustment is unlocked, and a user can manually set low wind, medium wind, high wind, strong wind, automatic wind and the like according to different air conditioner models.
In step S203, when the air conditioner operates in the heating mode, the setting rule of the VIP mode control is: the larger the average movement level of the personnel is, the smaller the upper limit value of the manual temperature regulation in the VIP mode is, and the higher the upper limit value of the wind speed of the manual wind regulation is. This rule is adopted because, the human body can be regarded as a heat source, the more the movement is, the more heat is emitted, the personnel can influence the surrounding environment (the surrounding temperature can be increased), the higher environmental temperature is not needed, therefore, in the winter heating, if the personnel movement level is higher, the heating capacity of the air conditioner can be reduced by reducing the upper limit value of the temperature setting, so as to meet the requirement of temperature comfort.
The following describes a specific implementation method of step S203 with reference to fig. 4.
In the embodiment, the detection of each person movement level can be realized by the scheme of the AWR 1642 millimeter wave radar device. The device manufacturer provides a Demo board, detailed design and development data such as FFT (fast Fourier transform), band-pass filter and the like, and provides a complete motion grade judging method, the method can calculate the heartbeat and respiratory frequency of a human body through the phase change of FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) radar signals, and then integrates the heartbeat, respiratory frequency and other data to obtain 11 motion grades of an integer from 0 to 10, wherein the larger the numerical value is, the more violent the motion of a person is. And after the motion grades of each person in the air-conditioning area are obtained, adding the motion grades of all the persons, and dividing the sum by the total number of the persons to obtain the average motion grade Sl of the persons in the air-conditioning area.
As an example, in the heating mode,
the rule of the temperature regulation and setting is as follows: the second upper temperature limit value < the first upper temperature limit value < the heating energy-saving high-temperature threshold value is set as follows as an example:
the heating energy-saving high-temperature threshold is 22 ℃,
the first upper temperature limit is 20 c,
the second upper temperature limit is 18 c,
the setting rule of the wind speed is as follows: the third wind speed is less than the fourth wind speed,
the third wind speed is a wind stroke,
the fourth wind speed is a high wind speed,
setting a first person average movement level threshold THR1_ SlIs a non-volatile organic compound (I) with a value of 0,
setting a second person average motion level threshold THR2_ SlIs 5.
N after people enter air-conditioning areapAnd if the temperature is higher than 0, the indoor unit of the air conditioner starts to work and is in a heating mode according to the working mode setting of the air conditioner.
Judging the average motion level of the person and a first person average motion level threshold THR1_ SlSecond person average movement level threshold THR2_ SlThe magnitude relationship of (1).
Case 4: sl≤0
The average movement level of the persons in the air-conditioned area is less than or equal to the first average movement level threshold value THR1_ Sl. At this time, it can be considered that the personnel are mainly in a static state, the indoor unit works in a heating energy-saving mode, and the default operation parameters are as follows: the temperature set value is a heating energy-saving high-temperature threshold value of 22 ℃, and the wind speed set value is a third wind speed wind; the upper limit value of the locking manual control temperature adjustment is 22 ℃ of the heating energy-saving high-temperature threshold, and the upper limit value of the wind speed of the locking manual control wind adjustment is the wind speed of the third wind speed.
Case 5: 0 < Sl≤5
The average movement level of the people in the air-conditioning area is between the first average movement level threshold THR1_ SlAnd a second person average motion level threshold THR2_ SlIn the meantime. At this time, the indoor unit of the air conditioner enters into the firstA third VIP mode is in the requirements of energy conservation and actual human body feeling, the range of manual adjustment of air conditioner parameters is reduced, and the upper limit value of manual temperature adjustment is changed to 20 ℃; however, the limitation of the manual adjustment range of the wind speed is simultaneously enlarged, the upper limit of the wind speed is the second wind speed high wind, and the user can manually set the wind volume below the high wind and the wind volume below the high wind, such as high wind, medium wind, low wind and the like according to different air conditioner models. In this embodiment, the reason for adjusting the wind speed is to consider that the upper limit value of the temperature is already reduced, and if insufficient heating occurs, the wind speed can be used for making up the insufficient heating, so that the method is more humanized.
Case 6: sl＞5
The average movement level of the persons in the air-conditioning area is greater than a second average movement level threshold THR2_ Sl. At the moment, the indoor unit of the air conditioner enters a fourth VIP mode, the manual adjustment range of the air conditioner parameters is further reduced, the upper limit value of manual temperature adjustment is changed to 18 ℃, the wind speed limit of manual wind adjustment is unlocked, and a user can manually set low wind, medium wind, high wind, strong wind, automatic wind and the like according to different air conditioner models.
It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the method for acquiring the number of people, the density of people, and the average movement level of people in the air-conditioning area may be acquired by a camera and/or an infrared pyroelectric device, in addition to the millimeter wave radar described in this embodiment.
